I am surprised by how much I have come to love our donkeys, they are such special creatures. They love in the most powerful and indirect of ways. It helps to sit down in front of them, they will come over to you, press their foreheads against yours, lean into you. Donkeys can be difficult, they can read the moods of humans, if you calm yourself, wait for them, they will come to you and show you their love. It is a wonderful thing to love a donkey.
